Its time to lose the gamepad

[TheWPCTraveler]

I had to trype this post twice, I hit Esc once.

For the people who think that the concept itself is at fault, consider that:
Nintendo did not...
...get Sega to make a Valkyria Chronicles, or a The House of the Dead for the platform; or a port of Project Mirai (without the chibi).
...get Atlus to put an Etrian Odyssey game on the platform, given the lack of JRPGs; or a new Trauma Team/Center game.
...work with Koei Tecmo to bring a Pokemon Snap title to the platform.
...get Capcom to bring Monster Hunter to the platform, complete with voice chat and an information-dense GamePad screen; or make an enhanced port of Okami HD.
...get Square Enix to make a version of Dragon Quest XI for the platform, with the features of the 3DS version (bar 3D and portability, of course); or enhanced ports for the Theatrythm games.
...get Ubisoft to make a Zombi2U.
...get Artdink to make a full-on no-holds-barred A-Train for the platform.
...get Yoot Saito to make one of his Tower games, or get a version of Seaman on the platform.
...get Intelligent Systems to put Code Name: STEAM on the platform, instead of the 3DS.
...get Camelot to make Mario Golf instead of Mario Tennis. (They already have the engine, for crying out loud)
...make a Pilotwings game, utilizing the GamePad to expand the control scheme above and beyond what is normally possible, allowing for flying commercial aircraft.
...put asymmetric multiplayer support in the Pikmin 3 story, giving different control schemes to the GamePad and other player.
...make a Metroid Prime 4 for the platform.

Yeah, I think that should suffice.
